Welcome to the occasional feature where I help our readers find reading that costs them nothing but their Internet and/or phone bill. With lots of motorsports moving to a la carte (Romanian for “at the cart” or something) streaming services, it’s actually getting easier for the connected car fan to find good racing. This week, let’s take a look at the TCR International Series, a touring car series you can watch free on the series’ YouTube Channel.

I often refer to General Motors’ front-wheel-drive A-Body platform as the automotive cockroach and should you ever visit the Midwest for a prolonged period of time, you’ll understand why. If you drive much, you will undoubtedly spot the unmistakably conservative three-box shape of a Buick Century or Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera at least every other day. They were mechanically simple and while most of them you see have lost significant percentages of their body to rust, they are still solidly there. Or at enough there. Personally, I’ve wanted to see Regular Car Reviews tackle the A-Body for some time, so I was delighted this Monday morning to see that Mr. Regular and The Roman had finally offered their take on it.

I think I’m gonna make it. After searching almost every day for a year some time ago, I gave up hope of a Renault/Eagle Medallion ever turning up for sale. Yes, I know of one in Southern California I could have for free, ostensibly, but this $500 five-speed Medallion is for sale far closer to me in Tulsa. Almost too close. Full ad text:

The 2016 24 Hours of LeMons season draws to a close this weekend at Sonoma Raceway just north of San Francisco and Oakland. California’s Wine Country has now hosted nearly more than a dozen LeMons races, which makes sense since it’s become the de facto “home” race for the series and many teams. December races in Sonoma County can be a weather crapshoot, but with early weather forecasts calling for sun and pleasant temperatures, it should be a perfect race weekend for the 188 registered teams.

As of last Thanksgiving, Nissan’s LMP1 program still existed, in theory. It seems like much longer ago than that since the Nissan GT-R LM NISMO only raced once in June 2015 at Le Mans. The GT-R LM remains an easy target, sure, but the reality is that the program’s failures are more complex than “The design was bad” or “Everything was a heaping pile of capybara dung.” Nevertheless, I took dibs on the GT-R LM for my Thanksgiving Turkey because I’ve never been able to articulate my final thoughts on the doomed race car.

Don’t you hate how modern wrenches allow you to grip the rounded handle and put leverage on stubborn bolts? Do you wish your wrenches were smaller, harder to grip, and featured Roman numerals instead of universally understood Arabic numbers? Today is your lucky day then, because Romanian designer Schneider Sarto reinvented the wrench!

On a whim last weekend, my wife and I took my daughter to the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago because, frankly, it’s just an awesome museum. There are all kinds of hands-on science experiments and exhibits to get the little ones interested in how the world works. I have my favorite exhibit—the Boeing 727 that flew into Meigs Field (before Richie Daley had it cratered in the middle of the night)—but I also took some time to appreciate MSI’s small and bizarre automotive exhibit, which comprises many pre-war cars, a couple of Indy 500 cars from the 1970s, and a couple more oddballs. It’s a very Hoon-worthy setup so let’s take a look.
